I mean, we're looking at a race in 57 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 5: Tennessee in just a couple of weeks, a special election 58 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 5: and a thing that Trump won I think fifteen vote, 59 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 5: fifteen points, and you know, and currently it's neck and neck, 60 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 5: and it's got Matt van Apps, a veteran is running 61 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 5: against a literally a far left is just an anarchistic 62 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 5: and that was educated in Knoxville, Tennessee, where I come from. 63 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 5: So I mean, we are losing our country and this 64 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 5: is just a this is just more proof of it. 65 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 5: And it's my heartfelt sincere things goes out to the 66 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 5: brave men and women of our National Guard, and I 67 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 5: pray that the Lord heals those people and brings that 68 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 5: gutless shooter to justice. 69 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 4: Well, I would echo that, And as we were saying earlier, 70 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 4: it seems to me the division in the country is 71 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 4: no longer one of what they used to call loyal opposition. 72 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 4: When you call people Nazis, you can't be too surprised 73 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 4: when some unhinged people decide to take military action. Congressman, 74 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 4: we wanted to have you on because you have been 75 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 4: I think one of the real shining lights on this 76 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 4: issue of insider trading by members of Congress on the 77 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 4: stock market. We first profiled this back in twenty eleven. 78 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 4: We've been monitoring this Nancy Pelosi over the last ten years. 79 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 4: If you look at her stock market portfolio performance traded 80 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 4: by her husband, the stock market indexes have gone up 81 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 4: two hundred and fifty percent during that ten year period. 82 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 4: The Pelosi's portfolio has gone up seven hundred and thirty 83 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 4: five percent. They're not only trading stocks that are doing 84 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 4: highly leveraged options trading by Congressman is it's so hard 85 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 4: to get a bill like this passed, and do you 86 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,239 Speaker 4: think it will actually passed and be signed by the president. 87 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 5: Well, first of all, we're gutless. As I've stayed, there's 88 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 5: bipartisan support for this. When Tim Burchett and Alexander Acasio 89 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,679 Speaker 5: Cortez or arm in arm on an issue, that tells 90 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 5: you something. But you can also see the other side 91 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 5: is arm in arm and we have our leadership told 92 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 5: Luna and myself that you know, this could cause us 93 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 5: to lose the majority, This could cause the Literally the 94 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 5: words were, I think the words were, we could lose 95 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 5: the Republic over this. This is how stupid and gutless 96 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 5: we are. We're greedy. Look, more people have played professional 97 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 5: baseball in this country than have been to the United 98 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 5: States Congress. Every day, every day I walk on the 99 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 5: floor of that Congress, and I think how lucky I am. 100 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 5: My daddy fought in the Pacific in the Second World War. 101 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 5: My mama was just a little country girl, didn't have 102 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 5: electricity until she's a senior in high school. Oldest brother, 103 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 5: Roy was thirty three, got cut down by the Nazis 104 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 5: while daddy was off fight the Japanese in the Marine 105 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 5: Corps in the Pacific. My mom actually flew an airplane 106 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 5: during the Second World War. So when I walk on 107 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 5: that floor, I know the shoulders I'm standing on, and 108 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 5: I know the sacrifice. And that's not a bunch of 109 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 5: bs rabble rousing. That is the honest to goodness truth. 110 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 5: And to think that we're gonna we can allow this 111 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 5: to occur. We're paid a very nice salary, and I 112 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 5: get sick and tired of hearing members say, you know 113 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 5: how much money this has costing me to be here. Well, dad, 114 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 5: gum it, go home and earn it. You know, I 115 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 5: gave it. It's funny. I gave a skateboard. I make skateboards, 116 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 5: and I always tell people it's cheaper than a psychiatrist. 117 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 5: But I have and from about twelve ten o'clock at night, 118 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 5: maybe three or four in the morning, I'm out at 119 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 5: one of my barns making skateboards. So I gave one 120 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 5: to Tulsa Gabbard so it TELSI was kind enough to 121 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 5: put it out. She's Hawaii and she likes to serve 122 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 5: and ride skateboards and stuff. So she puts it out 123 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 5: on the internet and got hundreds of people wanting these things. 124 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 5: So I thought, well, I'm a capitalist, I'm going to 125 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 5: sell skateboards. So I take my DC's chief and we 126 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 5: go down to speak to ethics and they say, well, 127 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 5: you got to get an attorney, you got to do this, 128 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 5: you got to do that. And basically what they're telling 129 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 5: me is I have to change it up. So it's 130 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 5: going through somebody else in my family. It can't go 131 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 5: through me aka Pelosi like sheep. And so I said, dude, 132 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 5: so you're telling me, if I want to do insider 133 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 5: stock trading, just become a member of Congress. But if 134 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 5: I want to sell skateboards, I got to hire an attorney. 135 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 5: And he shook his head said basically yes. And that 136 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 5: is the lunacy that we've created in Washington, and the 137 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 5: arrogance that we're just going to put something in a 138 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 5: spouse's or a kid's or a cousin's name, and all 139 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 5: of a sudden, it's just Katie bar the door brother. 140 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 5: You can do whatever you want. I'm going to propose 141 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 5: the legislation. I don't know if they'll go anywhere, just 142 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 5: to say if you want to do business, do business, 143 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 5: just disclose it to the American public. Let them decide, 144 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 5: let the voters decide if in fact it's a legitimate 145 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 5: business or in fact you're using that as some sort 146 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 5: of leverage. I doubt anybody's gonna sway me, sway my 147 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 5: boat by buying a skateboard front me. But that if 148 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 5: that's the case, then let's put it out to the 149 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 5: American public and let them know. And well, you know, 150 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 5: we created these crazy rules and laws to protect us, 151 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 5: and the American public is waking up. But no, I 152 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 5: don't think it'll pass. We'll pass a tough version, maybe 153 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 5: the Senate will either not take it up, or they'll 154 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 5: pass a tougher version or a less tougher version, and 155 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 5: then it'll go into some sort of conference and it'll 156 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 5: never come out. 157 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 2: Well, that's you could understand why that would be the case. 158 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,959 Speaker 2: It's not the best news the American people could hear today. 159 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 2: But just to be clear, you know, we follow this. 160 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 2: Last year, there was a record nine two hundred and 161 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 2: sixty one trades made by members of Congress. This year, 162 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 2: we don't have the updated for just exactly twenty twenty five, 163 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 2: but in the last three hundred and sixty five days, 164 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,679 Speaker 2: thirteen thousand trades, so members of Congress are trading at 165 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 2: to use of representive burchess phrase Katie bar the door. 166 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 2: But what do you to the best that you can? 167 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 2: And just briefly, because we do want to ask you 168 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 2: about Ukraine deal? But why do you think they're saying 169 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 2: you could, like, what's the best argument you've heard against 170 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 2: your bill? 171 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 5: I can't make enough money up here. I've got my 172 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 5: kids in college. I need to do that to support them. 173 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 5: So you're saying, you know, we need to do something 174 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 5: that's shady so that you can stay in Congress. That's 175 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 5: the arrogance of everybody in Congress. There's four hundred and 176 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 5: thirty five of us. There must be four hundred and 177 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 5: thirty four of us that think they're going to be 178 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 5: the next speaker. I always watch these guys when they 179 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 5: first get elected in gals and they're strutting around the 180 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 5: hall with their entourage, and they think they're going to 181 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 5: get a call from the President to negotiate the next 182 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 5: trade deal with North Korea. And that's just not the case. 183 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,599 Speaker 5: You know, Congress is about it's not about putting the 184 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 5: best players in. It's about who can kiss the most 185 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,199 Speaker 5: ass and who can raise the most money both parties. 186 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 5: And you know if the NFL was Congress Peyton Manning 187 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:57,839 Speaker 5: would still be waiting to get in. 188 00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 6: Brother. 189 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 4: Well, we are talking to Congressman Tim burch At always 190 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 4: candid and always open. I want to talk to you 191 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 4: about the Ukraine deal that Trump is proposing. Obviously, things 192 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 4: are very very fluid. If you just look at what's 193 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 4: happened to Ukraine from twenty fourteen, when the Russians first 194 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,839 Speaker 4: went into Crimea under Barack Obama to today, their population 195 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 4: has dropped by nine million people, which is almost twenty 196 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 4: percent of their population. So this is a question about 197 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 4: whether Ukraine is even going to exist. Congressman, what do 198 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 4: you think about the deal? Are you optimistic? Where do 199 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 4: you think this is going to go? 200 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 5: Yes? And I'm fired up about the deal because Donald 201 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 5: Trump is the ultimate deal Miker and the war pimps 202 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 5: and Congress that have their money invested in this thing 203 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 5: need to be ashamed and they need to be exposed. 204 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 5: That's another reason they don't want to you know. I 205 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 5: said to him, I said, all you guys up here 206 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 5: rattling your cybers about this, about this war that you 207 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 5: all couldn't even find on the dad gum globe five 208 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 5: years ago. I said, when China rolls on Taiwan, let's 209 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 5: see what you do. Then let's see about your war mongering. 210 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 4: Man. 211 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 5: Look, this is where where this is a portfolio war 212 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 5: Americans are getting rich off of it. I mean, I've 213 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 5: heard Democrats and Republicans say, you say, well, this is 214 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 5: great for our economy. You know they're buying their missiles 215 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 5: from us. Well, killing people is not great for anybody, brother, 216 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 5: It's not good for your soul. One daddy killed people 217 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 5: in combat. He killed many Japanese soldiers when he was 218 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 5: a kid in the Second World War. And he told me, 219 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 5: he said, buddy, young old men make decisions and young 220 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 5: men die. And that's exactly what's going on with this thing. 221 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 5: It has nothing to do with what's right or wrong. 222 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 5: Russia's GDP is somewhere between Francis and Canada's. Trump gets putin, 223 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 5: he understands, and you got Republicans and Democrats of course, 224 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 5: undermining everything he does. Over there. He'll say some things. 225 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 5: He's got to get people to the table. You don't 226 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,599 Speaker 5: stroke an ego by beating somebody over the head and 227 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 5: telling them what a dirt bag they are. You bring 228 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 5: them to the table and get them going. It's kind 229 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 5: of like his deal on Obamacare. You know, for the 230 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 5: first time in fifteen years, somebody's proposed to change and 231 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 5: everybody's jumping all over him because he's putting something on 232 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 5: the table. And that's how you negotiate, you at you 233 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 5: negotiate from strength. But you've got to have a plan. 234 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 5: Trump clearly has a plan and it could end this 235 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 5: thing by the end of the year. Yeah, Russia and 236 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 5: Ukraine are both going to be unhappy. We used to 237 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 5: have a sing when I was in the State legislature. 238 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 5: But both sides are a little uneasy about something. It's 239 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 5: probably a pretty good deal. People are ying every day 240 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 5: needlessly in this war and Trump. It wouldn't have happened 241 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 5: if Trump was in the White House. And it did 242 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 5: and Trump was not in the White House, and you know, 243 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 5: and Biden all he could do is send them more missiles. 244 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 5: One more thing about the unethical nature of Congress when 245 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 5: we went to war with them. I mean, when Ukraine 246 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 5: and Russia went to war, the Biden gave our missile 247 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 5: defense system to Ukraine. I don't either way back or 248 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,959 Speaker 5: forwards on that. It's not my issue, of course, I 249 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 5: never voted for a cent for Ukraine in this war. 250 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 5: They turned around and had to replenish our missile defense system, 251 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 5: multi billion dollar no bid contract. Who owned stock in 252 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 5: that those missile defense companies? American congressman both sides of 253 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 5: the aisle, and some apparently had bought it just a 254 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 5: couple of weeks before the president President issued that executive 255 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 5: order that was under Biden. So this thing is is 256 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 5: evil from top to bottom. Trump's getting us out of 257 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 5: all the wars all the way across this globe, and 258 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 5: people can't stand it. The Democrats just can't stand it, 259 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 5: and they they're going to do anything they can to 260 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 5: keep us in this in this war. And it's and 261 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,719 Speaker 5: it's it's it needs to end today ends today. The 262 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 5: only people that are that are profit that are that 263 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 5: are coming out ahead on this are members of Congress 264 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 5: that have invested in this thing in Wall. 265 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 2: Street, Congressman Tim Burchie, we got thirty seconds before we 266 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 2: have to go, but I just want to ask you. 267 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 2: There's been a lot of reporting about how unhappy memory 268 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 2: of your House Republican Caucus are because of Speaker Johnson, 269 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 2: because of Donald Trump. They said to expect a lot 270 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 2: of a lot more resignations. Is that something you think 271 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 2: is accurate or is that sort of part of the 272 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 2: big deep state pushing back ins what Donald Trump's trying 273 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:15,559 Speaker 2: to do. 274 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 5: That is the deep state pushing back against Donald Trump. 275 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 5: You know the ones that are leaving. I say good riddance, 276 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 5: good riddance. They get their ass kiss the whole time. 277 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 5: Excuse my language. My daughter's not listening to this. So 278 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 5: I can get by with this, Well mine is. I'll 279 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 5: put it.

Look, it wasn't meant to be 288 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 5: a locketime. Fred Thompson said, you pass laws, you go home, 289 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 5: and you live underneath them. The trouble is the worst 290 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 5: thing they ever did in Washington, DC. Put air conditioning 291 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 5: in the Capitol building.

We will have updates going forward soon 304 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 4: and at the bottom of the hour, we're going to 305 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 4: be joined by Speaker Mike Schultz from Utah to talk 306 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 4: about a very interesting problem with redistricting. Some of the 307 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 4: judges there are trying to carve out blue districts in 308 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 4: the middle of red Utah. 309 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. 310 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 2: You heard actually in the last segment Congressman Tim Burchan. 311 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 2: We thanks so much for his time, but you heard 312 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 2: him straight away say he believes the shooting in Washington, 313 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 2: DC today is, as you suggested, a direct reflection of 314 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 2: this larger culture of resistance and pushback being encouraged and 315 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 2: fomented by this aggressive left, and that pushback has taken 316 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 2: on an extra legal posture. 317 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 5: We played this. 318 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 2: Edition video at the beginning of the show about how 319 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 2: you've got members of Congress encouraging members of the military 320 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 2: to resist orders if they think they're unlawful. We've seen 321 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 2: in California even though there was a law that said, hey, 322 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 2: we think a non partisan district should draw these districts California, 323 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 2: and Gavenusom said, we think we know better. The same 324 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 2: thing Peter is happening in Utah. So it may seem like, 325 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 2: why are we talking about a Utah redistricting case, But 326 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,439 Speaker 2: it's part of a larger effort that's take that's got 327 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 2: a lot of tentacles, and it's shaping not just the 328 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 2: way the districts are drawn up, but what the political 329 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 2: opposition might look like moving forward. 330 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 4: That's right, Well, that is Eric Eggers.

We had a statement from 339 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 4: the Governor of West Virginia, Morrissey, talking about the incident 340 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 4: and saying that it was his belief that two guardsmen 341 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 4: had been killed. There now seems to be a question 342 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 4: about whether that is the case. He has issued a 343 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 4: new statement raising some question about that. 344 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 2: Let's hope it's excellent news, but yes. Twenty six minutes ago, 345 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 2: Governor Patrick Morrissey, after tweeting that he was mourning the 346 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 2: loss of to West Virginia Now Guard troops, says, we 347 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 2: are now receiving conflicting reports about the condition of our 348 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 2: two Guard members and will provide additional updates once we 349 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 2: receive more complete information. Our prayers or with these brave 350 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 2: service members. They're families in the entire Guard community, so 351 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 2: potentially amids the day before Thanksgiving. You never want to 352 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 2: see anyone lose their lives. But you know, I think 353 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 2: we can all join as a country and pray that 354 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 2: these National guardsmen somehow can survive this horrific attack. The 355 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 2: suspect is in custody. We do expect potentially to have 356 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 2: a news conference on the latest on the ground in Washington, 357 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 2: D C. If and when that happens, we'll bring that 358 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 2: to you live. In the meantime, we do have a 359 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,199 Speaker 2: Speaker of the Utah State House, Mike Schultz. It's an 360 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 2: interesting story that's happening there. It's another battle in the 361 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 2: larger war to you know, who defines the congressional representation, Peter, 362 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 2: You and I have talked on our podcast, The drill Down, 363 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 2: which you can find at the drill down dot com, 364 00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 2: about the number of factors that influence congressional representation, including 365 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 2: the census and how illegal immigrants impact the senses in 366 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 2: ways most people don't realize. Speaker Schultz, we want to 367 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 2: hear what's happening in Utah, but first I have to 368 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 2: ask you. You know, you represent the state that saw 369 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 2: the last high profile shooting unfortunately and Charlie Kirk's tragic death. 370 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 2: What's your reaction to the news coming out of Washington, 371 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 2: D C. 372 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 5: Today. 373 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 3: Oh, you know, it's sad and it's terrific. I mean, 374 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 3: this the political violence and this this what's happening needs 375 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 3: to stop. And certainly, you know, the Charlie Kirk situation 376 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 3: that happened here in the state of Utah was such 377 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 3: a black guy for the state of Utah. But I 378 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 3: couldn't have been more proud of the way that our 379 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 3: state came together and mourned the loss and showed people 380 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,919 Speaker 3: the right way to move forward. And our governor did 381 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 3: a great job leading that and it brought an awareness 382 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 3: honestly and opened up really what was happening. And you know, 383 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 3: the Charlie Kirk legacy lives on here in the state 384 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 3: of Utah. And but that being said, back to what's 385 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 3: happened in said Washington, it's just sickening and it needs 386 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 3: to end. 387 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, Speaker Schultz, I think when you call people Nazis 388 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 4: and other horrific names, we shouldn't be surprised if some 389 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 4: unhinged people, and let's face it, in a country this large, 390 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 4: you're going to have a few of them are going 391 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,199 Speaker 4: to take violence into their own hands, believing that they 392 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 4: are actually doing something good and heroic by killing innocent people. 393 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 4: But we brought you on to talk about the situation 394 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 4: in Utah with redistricting. This is obviously a contentious issue. 395 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 4: It's happening in Texas, California, Indiana's talking about doing it. 396 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 4: Utah seems to be a little bit different because you've 397 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 4: had a peers. If I understand this correctly, a court 398 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 4: judge is basically saying, I'm going to draw up what 399 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 4: these congressional districts around Salt Lake City look like. Tell 400 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 4: us about what is going on and what action you're 401 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 4: planning to take. 402 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, Peter, Eric, thank you. I'll tell you this is 403 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 3: what's happening here in Utah. Everybody needs to be paid 404 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 3: pay attention to just how far left can actually go 405 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 3: and what the leftist judges are doing. Well, I'll tell 406 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 3: you it's unbelievable. So let me start here with the 407 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 3: Utah Constitution Article nine. Article nine in the Utah Constitution 408 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 3: could not be more explicit and clear that it is 409 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:24,120 Speaker 3: the legislature's role to draw the bound boundaries for redistricting 410 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 3: and to provide the map. It is clear. But what 411 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 3: you had is you had the Legal Women Voters, a 412 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 3: national organization funded by Washington DC groups and funded and 413 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 3: had Washington DC attorneys that are fighting us all across 414 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 3: the country that you guys are reporting on that we're 415 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 3: seeing come in here into Utah file a lawsuit claiming 416 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 3: that the Utah legislature jerried jerrymandered the twenty twenty one map. Well, 417 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 3: what happened then was, you know, kind of back and 418 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 3: forth between the courts and different things. But ultimately we 419 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,959 Speaker 3: didn't get a final ruling on We didn't get into 420 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 3: ruling on that until August this year, almost September. It 421 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 3: was actually very late August in almost September, and the 422 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 3: judge ruled in favor of the legal voters, said the 423 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 3: legislator jerry mandard throughout our twenty twenty one map. Well, 424 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 3: then what happened after that was even more unconstitutional. What 425 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 3: she did. She laid out her own process. This judge 426 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 3: laid out her own process in which forced the legislature 427 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 3: to redraw the maps in thirty days, and by the way, 428 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 3: ten of those days there had to be public comment 429 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 3: on the map before the legislature voted on it. So 430 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 3: essentially it gave us twenty days to go through the 431 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 3: whole process and redraw the maps and then public comment 432 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 3: for ten days and then vote on it. 433 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 2: So we did that. 434 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 3: We did it under protests. We're moving through the lawsuits, 435 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 3: but we did it under protest and said, okay, we'll 436 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,199 Speaker 3: do that, so we redrew the map. The judge then 437 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 3: takes forty days and we start filing for August in January, 438 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 3: first week of January, and so these maps and the 439 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 3: timing need to be done in a very quick manner. 440 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 3: And so our elections officer in Utah Lieutenant governor said, 441 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 3: November tenth is the absolute latest that we can make 442 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 3: a decision. The judge took forty days to make this decision, 443 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 3: and on eleven PM, nineteen minutes before the end of 444 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 3: going to the eleventh of November, the judge issued her 445 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 3: ruling and throughout our map the legislature's map once again. 446 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 3: And when that happened, she then picked a map that 447 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 3: was drawn by the by the legal women voters, by 448 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 3: a far left organization that was clearly jerry manner to 449 00:24:54,960 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 3: produce one Democrat district. And because all four Democrats district 450 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 3: or sorry, all four congressional districts in Utah are held 451 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 3: by Republicans, and they jerry mandered the map to get 452 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 3: one Democrat district. The judge did that and picked that 453 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 3: map over the top of the legislature's map, and so 454 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 3: that's led us to where we're at today. And so 455 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 3: it's been a really difficult process, and for the judge 456 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 3: to draw it out to the very last minute has 457 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 3: really tied our hands. And if anybody thinks that was unintentional, 458 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 3: they need to have their head examined, because it was 459 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 3: clear what this judge was doing in structuring this ruling 460 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 3: to come out at the very last minute, tying our 461 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 3: legislature's hands are moving forward through the court appeal process 462 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 3: and essentially took away the voice of the people through 463 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 3: its elected representatives by one unelected judge. 464 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 2: And because of what's happening in California, where you're seeing 465 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 2: them further reduced any Republican voices that exist in that 466 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 2: stay because of the recent ruling in Texas where you're 467 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 2: seeing their efforts to redraw some maps facing some additional challenges. 468 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 2: Each state, each seat matters. So what is the latest, 469 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 2: what recourse do you have? And I guess what are 470 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 2: you hearing from other states? If California was a response 471 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 2: to Texas, are other states saying well, hey, if they're 472 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 2: going to do this in Utah, then we might have 473 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 2: to take a look at what we're going to do 474 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 2: in our state. 475 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 3: Well, I'm sure there are other states are absolutely watching 476 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 3: what's happening in Utah. I mean, when you have one 477 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 3: unelected judge pick a map over the top of, you know, 478 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 3: for three and a half million people of the state, 479 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 3: over the top of one hundred and four elected official 480 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 3: elected representatives that have been elected and sworn on an 481 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 3: office to uphold the constitution and to draw these maps. 482 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 3: That's certainly very very very concerning. And so we're still 483 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 3: going to move forward on every which way possible. We're 484 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 3: going to come into a special session on December ninth, 485 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 3: and we're still looking at what those options are in 486 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 3: front of us. But we're going to continue to fight 487 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 3: this through the appeal process up to our Supreme Court. 488 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 3: And boy, we would like to go to to the 489 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 3: Supreme Court to the United States as soon as possible, 490 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 3: because especially because of what happened in Texas. But they're 491 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 3: different issues. Because the Texas issue was done on the 492 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 3: federal courts on federal federal issues. What's happened in Utah's 493 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 3: done in the state courts on state issues. And so 494 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,880 Speaker 3: we have to exhaust our full remedies inside the state 495 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 3: of Utah and the State of Utah Supreme courts. So 496 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,680 Speaker 3: we're going to try that route. Hopefully we believe, you know, 497 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 3: that we have a chance there to be successful. I mean, 498 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 3: what this one judge has done has been overwhelmingly just 499 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 3: a blatant slap in the face of the Constitution. But 500 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 3: our ultimate goal will be to go to the Supreme 501 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 3: Court of the United States and hope if we don't 502 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 3: get a favorable ruling at the Utah Supreme Court, and 503 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,120 Speaker 3: hopefully the Supreme Court or the United States will take 504 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 3: it up at that point in time. But there's a 505 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 3: couple other long distance things that we've got in play, 506 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 3: with constitutional amendments and different things that we're working on 507 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 3: to make sure that this never happens again in the 508 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 3: state of Utah. 509 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, it seems to me that the people ought to 510 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 4: decide how they want their congressional districts drawn, and the 511 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 4: legislature is the best way to demonstrate that, as opposed 512 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,360 Speaker 4: to some unelected judge making that decision. And of course 513 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 4: in California, they had an initiative that first said we're 514 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 4: going to have a commission to do it. Now they 515 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 4: reverse that, So it should be left to the people. 516 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 4: Speakers showts, we appreciate joining us. Before you go real quick, 517 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 4: we want to hear something about some Thanksgiving cheer.
